Elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman cryptosystem in big data cloud security

Abstract

Big data require cloud that provides dynamically expanding data storage accessed through the Internet. The outsourcing data in the cloud for storing makes the user data management easier and reduces the cost of maintaining data. Still organizations are not confident to store their data in the cloud, because of security and privacy concerns. However, existing encryption methods are able to protect data confidentiality, but it has some drawbacks of access patterns can also leak sensitive information. The proposed system uses an Elliptic curve with Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) algorithm for encryption and decryption of data to improve the data security in the cloud. This algorithm reduced the computational complexity and encrypted data efficiently. In experimental analysis, the performance of proposed ECDH is calculated using evaluation parameters such as encryption time, decryption time, computation overhead and key generation time. The proposed ECDH algorithm has approximately 70% better performance in terms of encryption time than existing methods such as RSA, MRSA and MRSAC.
